A toddler sweater fleece pullover was recalled by L.L. Bean on Thursday due to a potential choking hazard.

The company advised that toddler pullovers with a manufacture date of Feb. 17 on the label should be immediately returned. The item was sold in L.L. Bean stores nationwide, in the Freeport, Maine-based company's catalog and online.

Company officials say the snaps on the front placket of the sweater can detach, posing a choking hazard to infants.
